Let me start by saying this little gadget had so much potential. The idea of a pocket-sized 4G router that could support up to 10 devices sounded like a dream for my frequent travels. The compact design is genuinely impressive - it fits in my jacket pocket without adding any noticeable weight.

When it works, it's magical. I've used it successfully in coffee shops when their WiFi was spotty, creating my own little internet bubble. The setup process was surprisingly straightforward when everything aligned correctly - just pop in a SIM card and power it on.

However... (and this is a big however) the battery life is practically non-existent. Like one reviewer mentioned, it only seems to work reliably when plugged in. I've had multiple instances where it would die within an hour of unplugging, despite the claimed 2100mAh capacity.

The most frustrating part? The inconsistency. Some days it connects flawlessly, other times it refuses to recognize perfectly good SIM cards. Customer service was about as helpful as a chocolate teapot - always blaming the other component (SIM card provider says it's the router, router company says it's the SIM).

If you're considering this router, I'd say proceed with caution and keep your receipt handy. It might work beautifully for you... or it might become an expensive paperweight like mine currently is during its frequent 'off' periods.
